Baldur's Gate 3: 9 things to do after beating the game
So you finished your main mission; Here's what the next one is.
Whether you are looking for a fight to be more demanding, for new interactions you have not found in your first Playthrough, for more information on the tradition of the game or new ideas on the types of personality to be explored, we have a series of ideas to make your next playthrough fun and distinct as your first.
Updated on May 14, 2025 by Britt Poter: With the continuous popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 and the imminent addition of patches 8, the game is still growing. Many people are reproducing the game. We added five other playthrough options for your next race to keep things interesting.

In front of Shadowheart
Moonmaiden guides me
Playing the opposite of Shadowheart opens some interesting dialogues and the interactions of the character that you probably did not get in your first Playthrough. His love for the lady of loss is opposed to your dedication to Moonmaiden while navigating in a complicated relationship.
Selune Run's cleric is particularly exceptional if you intend to romance the Dark Justiciar, giving you a dynamic of enemies-love while trying to convert each other into your beliefs. In addition to Shadowheart, you also get many new dialogues during conversations with Selunite Isobel and other NPCs.
The best buildings for a cleric of Selune:

RedEnto Bhaalspawn
I have to resist the dark impulse
As you embrace your dark need, it provides a fixed playthrough, we also advise you to try the resistance path for a satisfactory new history. While violent impulses try to control yourself, you don't have to succumb to darkness. This push and pull provides a complicated narrative with completely new dialogues.
Resisting your murderous impulses completely changes the feeling of the game and makes you a more full piece of the main plot. Bonus points if you choose to romance Astarion, since its story as Spawn that resists Cazador is a great compliment for Bhaalspawn.
The best builds for this race:
13
Embraces all illithid
Use all the powers of the parasite
If you did not take the Illithid route during the first heat, embracing all the powers of the giro is an excellent option for your second game. This means accepting every Girmo, romanting the emperor and choosing to go in full mental at the end of the game.

Try the multiplayer or the single player
The opposite of what you did before
Depending on the way you played before, choose the multiplayer or the single player for a completely different experience. If you only did the cooperative mode, try playing at home to interact more with your companions and learn better each of their skills.
If you haven't tried multiplayer, play with friends online. The role -playing game and the additional comment from your companions of real life adds a new element to the game. Any Build works for this race.

Romance run
Faerun's flirtation
Was there a particular character that you rushed the last time? Try the opposite for your second heat. Romanticism as many companions as possible. They are all excellent options and multiple novel at once can be a playful play.

Trickster's Run
The heroes are not so heroic this time
The game gives you many options to be dishonest, for the booty and to steal. Why not take advantage of all these things by embracing your inner mind, thief and all around the criminal mind? The objectives of this race are to deceive and steal the game as much as possible.
Choose the deception whenever possible, make sure you have a blocking bonus and take what you want from people without having to first indulge in their requests. Oh, and you will have to prioritize the furtivity, of course. If you have already experienced the game as a right and useful band of adventurers, you will surely find this second very different Playthrough.

All or no pano without weapons
A magical and potentially terrifying turning point on combat
For these runs, committed to abandoning your weapons and using only fists or pure magic. This is a challenge for those who want more than the method of honor or, perhaps, want only a lower peak challenge despite being able to save their progress.
If you love close combat, you are a martial arts fan or maybe you want to use more improvised weapons, you should choose the combat path without weapons. If, on the other hand, you are a passionate magical user who rarely uses your weapon anyway, then you should go on and engage to use it exclusively.

The most authentic race possible
Always be yourself
Why not play as yourself? Right. Made in the game, as much as possible 1: 1. Try to make only the choices that you actually would make in the game. Never recharge and let the chips fall where they can. Don't you want to know how you would go if you were in this situation?
